"Why?" Liu Rushi asked while looking up at him.
The look in her eyes made his heart torn into bits. He couldn't muster up the courage to look right inside those eyes of her. He wiped the tears escaping through her eyes and stroked her cheek with his thumb. Bringing it down near the corners of her lips, he stroked them.
"Why would you do it again?" Finally, Liu Rushi broke down into tears. Droplets came out of her eyes like rain and one by one dripped on the dry ground.
He had once played with her and he was playing with her again. That was what she thought. Time by time, she was opening herself. She had even accepted him but knowing the truth again made her unable to trust him. Once More!
She didn't understand why he couldn't be himself in front of her. Why he had to change himself in front of her?
There were some times when she was feeling that Ji Min Jun was the right person for her. But as she spent more and more time with Lei Qingshan, she had realized that he was a good person. Compared to those rich men, Lei Qingshan was a different guy. She had thought.
But she never was able to understand why he never was acting like himself.
"I'm sorry I hurt you!" Lei Qingshan rubbed the escaping tears on her face and apologized. He knew that apologizing won't do anything good but he just did.
"Why can't you not be yourself, Lei Qingshan? Why do you pretend like someone else? And why do you do it with me, especially?" After hearing his sorry, Liu Rushi felt like laughing. But she felt that she couldn't.
Because when she looked at his face, she saw tears coming out from the corner of his eyes. Her heart started to ache. 'Why does he have to cry?' She asked to herself but for finding the answer to that question, she needed to ask him. She had to get those answers from him.
"All this while..." Lei Qingshan started speaking.
His reason was simple. He fell in love with her at first sight.
The first time when he had seen her was near an investigation site. He had come with his stepmother to have a look at an accident which had happened.
A man of their company had suddenly committed suicide. He was 22 year old and was learning everything related to the management of a company.
Lei Xiu Ying had bought him along with him so, that she could teach how things should be handled when their was some dispute in the company.
While returning back home from the site, the car had stopped at a traffic light. As he sat inside in the car scrolling his finger upwards to check for something, he started to become bore. He closed his phone and looked forward.
That was when he saw from the front windscreen, two girls crossing the road while talking cheerfully. One held a glass of coffee in her hand while the other one held a glass of orange juice.
Both of them were young and pretty but the girl who caught his attention was the one who was holding a glass of orange juice. She had long black hair which were overflowing as she walked faster.
As she smiled her face glowed and her eyes turned crescent. She looked very pretty and that one girl just made his beat like crazy.
And that girl was Liu Rushi. After finishing her class, Liu Rushi was walking with Feng Mian home. As she was busy in her world, she didn't know that a certain man was looking at her with the hopes of making her his.
He soon told his driver to investigate and after months of waiting, he got to know that her name was Liu Rushi.
And that's when everything started. He was afraid that she wouldn't accept him. Therefore, he had started pretending as someone else.
But when he realized that she was falling for the other man who was him itself... but for her it was Zhang Wei, at that time... he felt really pissed.
Every second when he saw her getting distant from him, he cursed and regretted his idea.
However, he just went along. But when things went out of hand... he broke the engagement yet, again... he got angry on himself for doing such a stupid thing.
He had cried on and on for days until he found another idea... and he played along with it. But in the midst of playing as someone else, Lei Qingshan hadn't realized that if Liu Rushi was to know, she was to be hurt the most.
And before he could realize, it had been too late. Because, Liu Rushi was already hurt. Now, She stood in front of him crying and asking for his reason.
And his heart clenched tighter and tighter with every single drop of tear she shed. And he too, ended up crying!
